>I found floating in Xmonad is useful when it's necessary for things like GIMP Interesting. The reason I first installed a tiling window manager (awesome) was for GIMP, so I could avoid having to deal with a bunch of floating windows. (Now that I use a tiling window manager, I actually like the fact that gimp has a bunch of windows, but I do not understand how that is a good design choice when most people use a non-tiling window manager).
